| ITEM SUMMARY: |
The applicant is proposing to final plat approximately 12.39 acres of land for one buildable lot. The property is zoned as Single-Family Residential/Agricultural District (R-A) and is located within the Joint Base San Antonio- Randolph Accident Potential Zone II.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plat for the subject site on October 2, 2024. The preliminary plat required discretionary approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission because the property does not have direct frontage onto a public street but instead takes access onto Ware-Seguin Road through a non-exclusive 30-foot ingress and egress easement. UDC Section 21.9.3.J requires that each lot be provided with adequate access to a public street, either by direct frontage or by public access easement approved by the commission. Thus, the preliminary plat for the subject property was brought forth to the commission and was approved under case PLPP20240175.
Per the letter of intent, the applicant proposes to develop a residence on the currently undeveloped lot. The proposed development will adhere to the design requirements as dictated by the Unified Development Code.

| GENERAL LOCATION AND SITE DESCRIPTION: |
| The property is undeveloped and is located approximately 750 feet east of the intersection of Ware-Seguin Road and Boenig Drive. |
| ACCESS AND CIRCULATION: |
| The subject property takes access onto Ware-Seguin Road through a non-exclusive 30-foot ingress and egress easement along the western boundary of Lot 1, Block 1 per the approved preliminary plat of the Monroe Subdivision. The lot through which the subject property takes access is owned by the same owner as the subject property of Lot 2, Block 1. According to the Master Thoroughfare Plan, Ware-Seguin Road is Residential Collector and currently has a 70-foot Right of Way. |
| TREE MITIGATION AND PRESERVATION: |
| The applicant will be responsible for complying with Unified Development Code (UDC) Section 21.9.9. Tree Preservation and Mitigation. A signed tree affidavit was submitted indicating that there will be no damage to or removal of Protected and Heritage class trees located on the subject property. The Tree Preservation and Mitigation will be evaluated with any subsequent applications. |
| PUBLIC SERVICES: |
| The site will be serviced by the City of Schertz for water, and CPS energy. The applicant is requesting a waiver to not connect to the public sanitary sewer system. If the waiver is granted, the subject property will be serviced by an on-site sewer facility (OSSF). |
| PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS: |
All public improvements required for this subdivision are required to be installed prior to recording of the final plat per UDC, Section 21.4.15., unless otherwise specified in an approved improvement agreement.
Water: The City of Schertz is the water provider for this site. There is an 8-inch water line along Ware-Seguin Road
Sewer: The City of Schertz and the San Antonio River Authority (SARA) are the sanitary sewer providers for this site. Per UDC Article15, Easements and Utilities, Section 21.15.3.A: Wastewater Systems - Wastewater Connection Required and Section 21.15.2.D: Water Systems - Extension of Lines, the applicant would be required to extend sanitary sewer service to their property and connect to the system. The applicant has provided a waiver request to the requirement to extend and connect to the sanitary sewer system and instead be serviced by an on-site sewer facility (OSSF). The Engineering Department has reviewed the waiver request and supports granting the waiver as the closest possible sewer connection point is approximately 2,000 feet away from the subject residential lot. Once public infrastructure has been extended to the area to provide sanitary sewer service, the subdivision will be required to connect to the sewer system, in accordance with Section 90-78 of the Code of Ordinances. Any new on-site sewer facility (OSSF) will be reviewed and permitted through Bexar County. A building permit will not be issued without a Bexar County Approved OSSF or extension of and connection to the public system.
Drainage: The applicant is responsible for all drainage associated with the subject property and for compliance with the City of Schertz stormwater regulations. A drainage report has been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer.
Sidewalks, Hike and Bike Trails: No improvements are required at this time.
Road Improvements: Ware-Seguin Road is currently identified as a Residential Collector with 70-feet of Right-of-Way in the Master Thoroughfare Plan. The subject site does not have direct frontage onto Ware-Seguin Road and is not required to make improvements at this time. |
| STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION: |
The final plat is consistent with the applicable requirements, ordinances, and regulations for this property. It has been reviewed with no objections by the Engineering, Fire, and Planning Departments. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the final plat as proposed.
